Graceland Living Center I

Graceland Living Center I sits about three and a half miles outside King, North Carolina, and feels like a small, home-like place where folks can settle in and get a bit of help when needed. With only 12 licensed beds, the center stays pretty intimate and lets residents get personal care and attention, which means staff can focus on daily needs like bathing, dressing, transferring, and managing medicines and healthcare visits, and you'll find someone around 24-hours a day for supervision. Graceland offers choices that fit different needs, including assisted living, skilled nursing care, memory care, independent living, and even some home care services, so people with different levels of health and mobility can find support here. The staff helps with things like laundry, dry cleaning, meal prep-including meals for diabetics or folks with allergies-and there's always an emergency alert system, which adds peace of mind for residents and families. Residents relax in studio rooms, furnished for comfort, and use shared community spaces like dining rooms, walking paths, and gardens, which can be nice for quiet time or the activities the center schedules, such as movie nights and community events. Transportation and parking are available, chores like housekeeping get handled, and for new folks, there's even move-in help to get them settled. The place gets surveyed by groups like the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services to keep up with care standards and is a licensed Adult Care Home. While the center doesn't take Medicare unless certified for it, they do support people with daily tasks, whether someone lives independently or needs more hands-on care, and there's also a respite program for short stays. Graceland aims for a good balance of independence, safety, and daily support in a friendly, welcoming setting, with an award for Best of Senior Living and strong reviews about the staff's friendliness. The center welcomes scheduled tours for families who want a closer look at daily life, meals, and activities.
